With the title race all but over, Keown has now warned that Arsenal could also be fighting to finish in Champions League places.
Speaking on the show, the Arsenal legend said: “Just because you can’t be champions doesn’t mean that you throw it all away.
“If they don’t score goals there is a danger that they might slip out of the top four.
“Tonight when you come away with a point you think that is important because it means Forest don’t get any closer to catching them.
“Rest, recover and then they are away to Manchester United, and they must win.”
